这项研究的目的是描述家庭探视政策,设施,澳大利亚和新西兰(ANZ)重症监护病房(ICUs)的支持。
2018年,向向澳大利亚和新西兰重症监护协会结果和资源评估中心报告的所有澳大利亚和新西兰ICU进行了调查。数据来自调查和报告给CCR登记处的数据。对于这项研究,开放访问(OV)被定义为每天允许访客超过14小时。
这项研究包括2018年向CCR报告的所有澳大利亚和新西兰ICU。
主要结果指标是家庭进入ICU和探视时间,ICU等候区的特点,以及向亲属提供和收集的信息。
为CCR做出贡献的ICU中有56%(95/170)做出了回应,占澳新银行ICU的44%和一系列农村地区,Metropolitan,第三级,和私人ICU。探视时间为每天1.5至24小时,有68名(72%)受访者ICU报告OV政策,其中64个(67%)ICU每天24小时向游客开放。候诊室是77(81%)受访者ICU的ICU的一部分,74(78%)报告了单独的家庭会议专用房间,83(87%)报告了可用的社会工作者服务。大多数ICU报告了在医院内或附近睡觉的设施。64个(67%)ICU提供了一本信息手册。只有6个(6%)ICU需要为所有访客配备个人防护装备,76人(80%)需要为有空中预防措施的患者配备个人防护设备。
2018年,大多数ANZICU报告了自由访问政策,有大量的设施和家庭支持。
The objective of this study was to describe family visitation policies, facilities, and support in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) intensive care units (ICUs).
A survey was distributed to all Australian and New Zealand ICUs reporting to the Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Society Centre for Outcomes and Resources Evaluation Critical Care Resources (CCR) Registry in 2018. Data were obtained from the survey and from data reported to the CCR Registry. For this study, open visiting (OV) was defined as allowing visitors for more than 14 h per day.
This study included all Australian and New Zealand ICUs reporting to CCR in 2018.
The main outcome measures were family access to the ICU and visiting hours, characteristics of the ICU waiting area, and information provided to and collected from the relatives.
Fifty-six percent (95/170) of ICUs contributing to CCR responded, representing 44% of ANZ ICUs and a range of rural, metropolitan, tertiary, and private ICUs. Visiting hours ranged from 1.5 to 24 h per day, with 68 (72%) respondent ICUs reporting an OV policy, of which 64 (67%) ICUs were open to visitors 24 h a day. A waiting room was part of the ICU for 77 (81%) respondent ICUs, 74 (78%) reported a separate dedicated room for family meetings, and 83 (87%) reported available social worker services. Most ICUs reported facilities for sleeping within or near the hospital. An information booklet was provided by 64 (67%) ICUs. Only six (6%) ICUs required personal protective equipment for all visitors, and 76 (80%) required personal protective equipment for patients with airborne precautions.
In 2018, the majority of ANZ ICUs reported liberal visiting policies, with substantial facilities and family support.
